Festool202098 Bluetooth Remote Control Bare Unit for CT26/36/48, 2.5 cm*20.0 cm*10.0 cm, Blue

Ok so if you haven’t got one of these for your Festool Cleantec Dust Extractor...you’re definitely missing out!😅😁Yes you can hook up yer sander,tracksaw,router,domino whatever to the vac ...or you might have the relatively new Bluetooth enabled batteries on yer carvex...but this lil buddy here can help in many other situations you might find yer self in that don’t fit the bill of those previous examples.I personally found myself in a slight dilly of a pickle bout a year ago when I just started out with a used but in great condition RotexRO150 which I purchased on EBay from the good ol US of A.After getting to understand that I need Dust Extraction to fully unleash the awesome prowess of the Rotex Beast, I went ahead and found a sweet deal for a brand new Festool MIDI I....cool!!!But....that dude was from the wonderful United Kingdom...soooooI had a 110 Volt Rotex which needed to work with a 240 Volt Dust Extractor....darn!!In comes the marvelous almost magical Bluetooth remote!!!After consulting with the good folks at FOG I was advised to get this sexy mother ,and boy lemme tell you was I happy I got it!For less then 50$ (got my first one @Amazon.com,this is my backup actually)I immediately had my Rotex paired up to the MIDI I ,and since the remote comes with 2 bands to strap it on either a 27 or 36 mm Hose, you are essentially getting the vac’s autostart feature with whatever machine you are using the hose with.Syncing the Remote with the dust extractor is also easy as pie...hold down the BT button on the midi/mini I (or the Bluetooth Module if you have one of the larger Festool Dust Extractors ) for around 3 secs , then press the BT button on the remote once and bing they’re paired and you’re good to go!!Like I said this is my second purchase of the Bluetooth Remote since I got tired of switching it between the 27 mm and larger 36mm hose which I use for the Baby Red Dragon 🐉 (😜 A Milwaukee FUEL 7-1/4” Miter Saw 2733), as well as some other non-Festool Circ Saws... which is another great use for this lil buddy, using it with non Festool power tools!With the Milwaukee I even strap it on the handle itself ,which makes turning it on and off a no brainer indeed!!Aright I gather you get the idea...now get this remote!!!Thank youuuu Festool!!!once again!!!👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙏🏼🌹😘❤️🌕🌹😎🐚✨❄️

This is very very good, I bought it as a bit of a gimmick really but it is so useful indeed. I have two Festool extractors and it’s a real shame I can’t get one for my older model.Works a treat and the first battery is still going strong.

A great little addition to my MIDI Festool extractor, which i have had for 2 years.i always thought of this as a bit "Gimmicky" but, with such a long hose on the extractor it mad sense to have this at the "hand held end" to save having to keep walking back to the main unit.I have only had it for a short time and so far I am very happy with it.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Great and handy idea from Festool so easy to connect to the hoover, defo recommend

If like me you find yourself lying on the floor in a pile of wood shavings and you cannot reachthe hoover having this fitted to the hose next to you just make sense and it save getting up and down

Battery minus one star

Really good 👍

Wow! I thought this was a gimmick...but connected up to my Midi, this is a gamechanger. I use this all the time, and it makes vacuuming so much easier and convenient.Basically, you receive it and pair it to your vacuum. It clips on to the hose using a high quality rubber strap. Then it's just a click of a button to activate - really useful when you are on your hands and knees mid job!100% recommended, you will not be disappointed :)
